SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:5
y ofreced sacrificio de alabanza con leudo, y pregonad, publicad voluntarias ofrendas; pues que así lo queréis, hijos de Israel, dijo el Señor DIOS.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Amos 4:5
Verse 5. Over a sacrifice of thanksgiving] To the senseless metal, and the unfeeling stock and stone images, from which ye never did, and never could receive any help. Proceed yet farther, and bring free-will offerings; testify superabundant gratitude to your wooden and metallic gods, to whom ye are under such immense imaginary obligations! Proclaim and publish these offerings, and set forth the perfections of the objects of your worship; and see what they can do for you, when I, Jehovah, shall send drought, and blasting, and famine, and pestilence, and the sword among you.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven , etc.] Which some observe was contrary to the law, which forbids all leaven in a meat offering; or “burning” it in any offering, ( Leviticus 2:11); which the word here used suggests was done by these idolaters, as well as eaten by them, their priests not liking to eat unleavened bread; but; though it was forbidden in the meat offering, was allowed, yea, ordered, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, ( Leviticus 7:13). So Abarbinel understands it here, as what was according, to law, but ironically commanded to be offered to idols: and proclaim [and] publish the free offerings ; let all know of them when you make your freewill offerings, and invite them to partake of them: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God ; or ye love to offer such sacrifices to your idols, rather than to the Lord God; preferring these to him, and delighting more in the worship of them than of him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - What is got by extortion is commonly used to provide for the flesh, an to fulfil the lusts thereof. What is got by oppression cannot be enjoyed with satisfaction. How miserable are those whose confidence i unscriptural observances only prove that they believe a lie! Let us se to it that our faith, hope, and worship, are warranted by the Divin word.
